Chowder is a popular soup made with cream, vegetables, and fish or seafood. A staple of sailors and fishermen several centuries ago, chowder has migrated to restaurants and become almost a delicacy. Its rich fishy aroma alone is mouthwatering, not to mention its exquisite flavor! Make chowder with salmon, vegetables, and herbs in a slow cooker. First, pour the clam juice (despite the exotic name, this is simply the broth left over from steaming the clams) over the vegetables and simmer for several hours. Half an hour before the soup is ready, add the fish and heavy cream.
